Slimline 3 LNB found on ebay

[Alebob911]

I was searching ebay for no good reason and stumbled upon this. Its the new 3 LNB for the slimline getting 99, 101, and 103 (or so it says) Just thought you all would like to know just in case any one wants or needs one.:)

will this lnb work if a rerson were to change out the 5 lnb on their existing slimline?

It uses the same dish as the 5 LNB Slimline so yes.

It uses the same dish as the 5 LNB Slimline so yes.

So...I have one of these that I wanted to use in my RV with a HR21. If I use the 3LNB, what do I lose? All the MPEG4 HD stuff?

Yes, the Slimline not the SWMline (the one with the built-in SWM).

You lose the sats at 110 and 119. Most of the MPEG4 HD channels are at 99 and 103.

The "old" 3-LNB or Phase III dish does not have visibility to the 103/99 sat locations .. the older 3-LNB dishes gave access to 101/110/119. The new SL3 LNB (or Slimline-3 LNB) give access to 101 for Ku and 103/99 for Ka bands. HD is is on 103/99.

So, when you say you "have one of these" you have to make sure that it is the right 3-LNB that you are talking about. This is a new LNB and only became available about the middle of this year.

swmline and slimline are the same dish

Not to be confused with a slimlion

a slimlion is a lion that has not eaten in a while/ Installing a SlimLion results in both you and your television being eaten
